The Samourai Wallet is available for Android smartphones.
The Samourai Wallet focuses on “keeping transactions secret, hiding your identity and making your money and payments secure”.
The team behind the Samourai Wallet describe themselves as privacy activists who have dedicated their lives to developing the software that Silicon Valley will never develop, that regulators will never allow and in which investors will never invest.
The wallet works like any other wallet and can send and receive Bitcoin normally. But what makes this wallet stand out from the crowd is its focus on security and privacy.
This even went so far that Google wanted to ban the wallet from the App Store if some functions were not deactivated.
The certainty begins with the fact that a 5 to 8 digit pin must be entered. But instead of the standard input field there is a special input mask where the numbers are positioned at other places. So no one can look over your shoulder when you enter your code.
The app was also hidden on the smartphone (stealth launcher) and could not be found immediately if the phone was stolen. The wallet can be deleted via SMS in the event of theft.
Of course the Samourai Wallet is a Non-Custodial Wallet and you remain full owner of the Private Keys. A new Bitcoin address is also used for each transaction. An already used address is never used a second time. But also the spending habits are masked in order not to allow conclusions to be drawn from the amounts.
VPN and Tor are also supported so that transactions remain anonymous as well.
The Samourai Wallet is the safest wallet and an absolute recommendation for anyone with a high need for privacy and security.
It is not a wallet for the beginner, but for an experienced, technically skilled Bitcoiner.
